About: Viral Interventions is a two-day conference exploring the creation of eighteen new short videos about living with HIV today. Over the last three years under the direction of John Greyson and Sarah Flicker, twenty-five VI artists came together in monthly workshops to collaborate, brainstorm, share, critique and test ideas, rough cuts, and stories. This conference is a celebration of all that work! The conference includes:
- four panels/screenings with filmmakers, artists, and scholars
- a special exhibition refleting on the VI project
- a dinner for artists and guests
- the launch of the official VI website
- a celebratory screening of videos made by the third and final cohort of VI artists at TIFF Lightbox
